New Smart Parts Marketing
- Thread starter Mark
- Start date
I'm not sold on this new batch to be honest............
I've got to say it...... tandoori can be attractive on chicken, but not when used as fake tan.
Anyway, I just think it's lowest common denominator marketing, and pretty pointless at that............... bling, performance, show off value are all considerations when buying a marker but I can't see "oh I bought it 'cos it had a chunky shemale in the advert" ever being a factor.
Think about it, is paintball big enough for this sort of advert to have much impact? remember the last SP catalogue........... yes it made me want to buy a shocker 2003 poster, but never changed my opinion on the marker.
Looking at pictures of attractive, scantilly clad models definately gets my attention...........unfortunately buying paintball kit isn't high on the list of thoughts it provokes.

the point im tryin to make is that people get so worked up about the 'right' image of paintball and how it is displayed.
what is the right image of paintball??

the adverts are a bit sexest!! i know some pretty damn good female players and im guessing they dont want to open there mags to that!! Its a male dominated sport, but by giving it the image that its only for blokes is the wrong image!!
Their old website is a bit sucky, but the new one I thought was pretty cool.
